The club is being called the first cavityback driver, but the description of the club sounds more like a horseshoe. The weight has been moved to the heel and toe to increase the head's stability during the swing.

But here's what caught my attention: The loft has an adjustment range of 4 degrees, from 8.5 degrees to 12.5 degrees. That's just amazing to me! It means that one driver can fit just about any player, whether you swing the club at 80mph or 125mph. And you can change the loft without changing the face angle.

This driver could send ripples through the entire golf equipment market... and no, I'm not being over-dramatic. While buyers can always decide that they don't like a club for various reasons, a club with that much adjustability almost guarantees that poor fit will NOT be one of those reasons. This could become the killer product that Nike needs to make their golf equipment as profitable as their apparel lines.

The Covert is due out in February. If you're tired of black -- and maybe even white -- drivers, red could end up being your lucky color.

You're right, Patrick... but the Covert has a slightly wider range of lofts. The standard Cobra goes from 8.5 to 11.5 degrees (7.5 to 10.5 for the pro model), according to the link you left. Thanks for that -- it'll make it easier for everybody else to read up on it!

I don't know how much difference the Covert's "hole in the head" will make in the way it plays vs the Cobra. I suspect we'll be seeing all kinds of comparison tests once it finally comes out, though.

About Me

Author of several golf books including Ruthless Putting and Stop Coming Over-the-Top, and editor of Classic Adventure Stories: Swashbucklers, a collection of classic sword-fighting novels. I've run the Ruthless Golf blog since mid-2009. And I've also done some writing for Golfsmith.com.

I'm a writer, cartoonist, graphic artist & self-publisher who's played in some local pro golf tournaments. The challenge of learning new things really appeals to me. And I don't believe age should ever keep you from chasing your dreams.

I also write children's easy reader books under the pen name Mick Michaels, and poetry under the pen name Will Shakespeare.
